Natural killer (NK) cells, a subgroup of innate lymphoid cells, act as the first line of defense
against cancer. Although some evidence shows that NK cells can develop in secondary …

BACKGROUND Uterine natural killer cells (uNK) are the most abundant lymphocytes found
in the decidua during implantation and in first trimester pregnancy. They are important for …

Aging is associated with remodeling of the immune system to enable the maintenance of life-
long immunity. In the CD8+ T cell compartment, aging results in the expansion of highly …

The female reproductive tract harbors distinct microbial communities, as in the vagina,
cervical canal, uterus, and fallopian tubes. The nature of the vaginal microbiota is well …

It is well known that adipokines are endocrine factors that are mainly secreted by white
adipose tissue. Their central role in energy metabolism is currently accepted. More recently …

Chemerin, a chemoattractant protein and adipokine, has been identified as the endogenous
ligand for a G protein–coupled receptor encoded by the gene CMKLR1 (also known as …

Natural killer (NK) cells, the prototypic member of innate lymphoid cells, are important
effectors of anticancer immune response. These cells can survey and control tumor initiation …

Inflammatory immune response plays a key role in reproductive failures such as multiple
implantation failures (MIF), early pregnancy loss, and recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL) …

Chemerin is an adipokine secreted by adipocytes and associated with obesity, insulin
resistance and metabolic syndrome. Different chemerin fragments with pro-or anti …

A large body of data shows that Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune effectors exerting a
potent cytolytic activity against tumors and virus infected cells. The discovery and …
